I hear that Marina Butler's Facebook Party at Trailsides was sparsely attended. Like hardly anyone went. So much for campaigning on Facebook. Not everyone has time to blather on social media. The low turn-out at her Meet and Greet may be due to the fact that no one is paying an attention to the idiots on Facebook.The question is: where were her supporters? All those Facebook people who claim to be supporters of her efforts. You know, the ninja crowd that has mocked incumbent John Hill mercilessly. Why weren't they there, eating up the free food? Perhaps the Greek Chorus from the Stevensville Hecklefest had been told to stay away. Their behaviour actually worked against them. They may have kept people away from council meetings by their disrespectful actions - at least there is an alternative: the sometimes garbled live stream. Those who wanted to hear what the candidates had to say on Candidates Night in Stevensville were upset by the misbehaviour of the few losers from the ninja crowd. Does anyone really think that people are that easily swayed? Let's hope not.Let's hope that people see through the long, long list of malicious attempts to unseat four duly elected councillors by people like a mayor-by-five-votes; a couple of loser former councillors; a candidate who admits she helped fund a lawsuit against the four; and an ego-maniacal EDTC boss who has verbally crapped all over the town and the province and especially the taxpayers of Fort Erie.Too bad one of Jimmy's hand-picked candidates had a par-tay where no one showed up.
